Well, Jared, but that's the reverse. You stripped out this important part: " am trying to define it for a peer that's used when making calls using the originate ami call, but it seems to not have any effect." The important thing with your lesson was that SETVAR is only used on INCOMING calls from devices, not outbound calls TO devices. Using ORIGINATE to call a SIP peer, there's no variables set from sip.conf. /O --- * Olle E.
